I just ate supper with the boy and heard the tale, saw pictures. The son of a friend of mine and his brother, boys in their early 20's, got Gator tags. One got a 10'8" and they finished it off with a 9mm using FMJ. Good penetration with no drama. There is a special spot that is vulnerable to finish the business. The other one, the BIG one, was 11'6" and they double tapped it atop the noggin with a .45 ACP using JHP. It was almost bigger than their boat and it took a while to get it inside and where they could boat back in. On the way home the big gator woke back up! Four more .45 slugs sent him back to sleep for good. Upon skinning it was found that four of the .45 JHP mushroomed on the skull and did not penetrate. The first couple shots just gave the big gator a good nap! Had it decided to fan that big tail things could have gotten serious fast!
